Volunteer Opportunities

We recognize that many people want to help but cannot make the commitment that 1:1 mentoring requires. Be assured there are many ways to be involved!

Double the Impact of Your Donation with a Matching GiftYour gift to EWOM could be matched dollar-for-dollar by your employer. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match the charitable gifts made by their employees. If your company has a matching gift policy, send us the completed form along with your gift and we will send the necessary acknowledgments to both of you. Not sure if you company has a matching gift program, ask your human resources department.

Host an Eyes Wide Open Mentoring "Friendraiser"One of the most effective ways for us to increase our visibility and cultivate new donors is for friends who know us and respect our work to host fundraisers on our behalf in their homes. We provide the food, drinks, and staff to share the Eyes Wide Open Mentoring story. You provide access to friends who might support our mission and an intimate setting for a small-to-medium size cocktail party.
